A Disgusting, Meaningless Trick

Suddenly, Xia Zhi rushed to Xinghe's side and with a terrified expression, relayed something to her. Xinghe stood up so abruptly that her chair fell backwards!

Bang!

The sudden commotion alerted everyone.

They stared at Xinghe's sudden movement confusedly.

"What did you say?" Xinghe asked Xia Zhi sternly.

A horrified Xia Zhi said hurriedly, "Sis, the person said they have kidnapped Dad. If you don't stop competing, they are going to kill him…"

A moment ago, Xia Zhi received a call from an unknown number. His initial thought was to ignore it but since it kept on ringing, he walked to a quiet corner and answered it.

Little did he know it was a ransom call!

They had the audacity to kidnap his father to force Xinghe from continuing on with the competition.

Xia Zhi had doubts regarding the call's authenticity so he came to ask his sister for her opinion.

"Sis, do you think this is real?" Xia Zhi asked apprehensively.
